shares her
tips on
creating
positive vibes
for the festive
season
Yes, it’s on its way and the holiday
season will be upon us before you
know it.
So, I thought I would set the scene with
some positive intentions. Now I know
for some of you it isn’t the happiest time
for many reasons, but how about acting
on some of my Feng Shui tips to bring in
healthy, wealthy, and happy times.
For those that love Christmas read on,
there is plenty for you to do too, to
ensure you have a fun filled packed time.
First tip: declutter the North of your
house for manifesting / positive
intentions. Declutter the South of
your home for wealth and declutter
the Southwest of your home for love
and happiness. You can start this right
now and don’t wait until a week before
Christmas otherwise you won’t have time
to get it done.
This is how to do it. Get three boxes and
write on them, one keep box, one charity
box and one dumping box. Then just
spend about 15 minutes on decluttering
and play your favourite type of music. If
you can do it with a friend even better,
you might find yourself enjoying it so
much that you spend a couple of hours
which then change your life.
If you can find a bauble with a feather in
it or just a white feather, put it on your
tree in remembrance of people who have
passed away and who we would really
love to be sharing this time with.
I am often asked on which date should
I put my tree up? For the early birds 2 nd
December, but Saturday 9 th December
for you inbetweeners and for the late
bloomers, I suggest 21 st December to bring
the positive energy for your holiday season.
This is the year of the Water Rabbit
changing to the Wood Dragon on February
10 th , 2024. So, this Christmas the colours
are pinks, reds, silvers, blues and greens
which gives you plenty of choice to
decorate your house and your tree.
When deciding where to place your
tree, either in the South or North of
your home, but definitely avoid placing
it in the West otherwise the party won’t
get started.
The heart of your house will be your
holiday table, so create a glowing table
with candles but not too near Aunty
Mabel’s paper hat. Make sure there
is enough space for people to feel
comfortable and able to chat to each
other. A Feng Shui tip is to place oranges
in the middle of the table they bring
good fortune to the festivities.
If you are sending cards the best date to
put them in the post box is Wednesday
13 th December, if you are sending e-cards
then do it on Saturday 16 th December.
If you have plants at the entrance to your
house and if you follow my Feng Shui
tips you should have one either side.
Place pink ribbons around the pot or
around the branches/stems to bring the
love into your home and enhance the
positive energy as it enters through the
front door.
As an avid animal lover, I give my cats
and dogs treats as well, well I give them
treats all year round but especially at
Christmas. My dog Rhia has a habit of
leaving her toys outside and the foxes
then enjoy tearing them apart. She had
a favourite reindeer from last year’s
festivities, but it disappeared. So, this
year I will be buying her a replacement,
but ensuring it stays inside!
When thinking of gifts for others, look
for natural gifts that they can use all
year round. Alternatively for your single
friends, my book Date, Love, Marry,
Avoid.
Wishing you all everything that makes
you happy.
Until next time
Janine
